Had dinner with my bro' last night at the River Rock Casino Resort in Richmond. We ate at the buffet restaurant. It sure was busy. The resort is huge now as the hotel, shops and more restaurants have opened. The ceiling is so high there.

Curtis filled up his plate the first round. I didn't have too much meat in my first round - a few raw carrots and cauliflower, rice pilaf, potato pancakes, cooked vegies, chicken strips, breaded cod balls - was saving room for desert!!! Ahhh, yes let's move on to the desert. I always get ripped off at buffets as I don't eat much meat but with the 2 for 1 coupon it was worth it. The desert buffet was grrrreat! It was deeelicious, made the buffet worth it. I had peanut butter pie, trifle, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate ?mousse? chocolate ?mouse? chocolate ?moose?, anyways, chocolate chip cookie and creme caramel. Didn't like the creme caramel at all, was sort of like a slimy hard boiled egg white. The cheesecake was good, best savoured and eaten very slowly - i.e. leave in your mouth for a bit to enjoy each and every bite. The chocolate chip cookie was reaallly good too. Mmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm. Yummy peanut butter pie - never had that before. Trifle was very good too.

Anyways, while on the waiting list waiting to be paged for dinner we went to the casino and I played the poker slot machine. Put in my usual $5 bill - i.e. 20 quarters/credits. Got up to about 41 quarters and then back down to $5 before cashing out. Lasted a while before getting back down to my $5 again. Good way to kill time while waiting. How come coffee, tea and soft drinks are free at the casino but juice which is better for you costs $2.25?

Was great to spend time with my bro' - glad we're able to hang out together. Maybe we'd see more of each other if we ever became neighbours :)
